AGI-US Events

AGI’s events are a fantastic way for our stakeholders, donors, and community to not only stay connected but also join with us to help our partner countries move their vision forward.

AGI-US delivers a program of events including roundtables, receptions, and webinars. For more information or to attend one of our events please contact AGI-US [link to Mellissa and Danielle’s profile].

Highlights from events include...

Emerging Market Private Equity Association (EMPEA)EA

AGI along with EMPEA and the Africa Expert Network gathered guests for an engaging and diverse conversation on the power sector, post-Ebola economic recovery, and the investment climate across Africa.

Humanity United

AGI’s CEO Nick Thompson joined Dr. Dan Kammen and Elliott Donnelley at Humanity United for a panel on meeting Africa’s energy challenge.

Some of the types of event we hold include:

Receptions

AGI-US receptions are intimate gatherings of 10-20 people to raise awareness and support for our work. They are usually hosted by AGI Champions and allow a select group to engage directly with AGI’s senior leadership.

Roundtables

AGI’s experts share their experience on a wide range of topics relating to Africa’s future.

Our roundtables are normally held with think tanks, organizational partners, and other NGOs. Recent event topics include Ethiopia’s industrialization boom, investing in African prosperity, effective philanthropy and international development, and Ebola recovery.

Webinars

Our webinars are hosted by AGI where we bring in experts to share briefs covering current topics, pressing issues, and emerging best practices. Our webinars allow individuals to engage directly with our team while encouraging questions and thoughtful conversation.
